Shen Guiren also agreed with Ling Guifei's statement. She angrily said to Xiao Zhen: "If you haven't done it, don't admit it casually. If you have any grievances, tell me, and the emperor will naturally make the decision for you!"
Xiao Zhen glanced at Guiren Shen with some hesitation in her eyes. Long Chuxia knew her plan at the moment when she saw her eyes. She might really think that the emperor would listen to Concubine Ling and Guiren Shen and question the Queen Mother.
Long Chuxia did not give her this opportunity to humiliate herself. She looked at Xiao Zhen and said: "That day, you told me that Shen Gui had pain in his abdomen after eating glutinous rice balls for about half an hour. In half an hour, so many
The palace servants have not even cleared away the dishes that Lord Shen ate. There is only one possibility, that is, you intentionally left the soup bowl with red flowers in it for the imperial doctor to verify. The imperial doctor confirmed that there was red flowers in the bowl.
Hua, Xiaozhi who was responsible for delivering things, and even the Queen were all involved. You could obviously have given a heavy dose of medicine, but you didn't. You only dosed a little bit, which proved that you didn't want to kill the flesh and blood in Shen Gui's belly. You
The purpose is only to target the queen, because in the end, no matter whether the queen will be convicted or not, she and Shen Guiren will break up. Also because you know that the queen actually looks forward to the birth of this child more than anyone else. You want the queen to see the birth of the child, even if the emperor and Shen Guiren are born.
I will also not let her get close to you because she tried to poison the prince in the past. You want her to live with the pain of being wronged and misunderstood. This proves that you or the people behind you hate what the Queen said. Can you admit it?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen's face was pale, but he pretended to be calm and said: "The Queen Mother has a wonderful plan. Everything is almost exactly right. It is the slave who hates the Queen very much. She hates her to the core. There is no one else to instigate her. That day, Xiaozhi came
The glutinous rice balls are indeed not poisonous. They were added by the slave later because the slave calculated the portion accurately. Mr. Shen will only have abdominal pain for a while after eating it. It is not a serious problem. The soup bowl was also ordered not to be washed by the slave.
Because I want to leave evidence, I really didn’t think about incriminating the Queen, but I don’t want her to be convicted, I just want her to try the feeling of being wronged. Everything I calculated is very accurate, the Queen is the Empress Dowager’s choice.
The Queen Mother was under suspicion, and the servants thought that the Queen Mother would definitely ask the Emperor or the Imperial Concubine to investigate the matter in order to avoid suspicion. The Imperial Concubine had always been at odds with the Empress, and no matter what the investigation result was, the Empress would not be able to escape her involvement. However,
The only thing I didn't expect was that the Queen Mother was not afraid of the suspicion of the people in the palace, she settled the matter privately, and secretly investigated. Now that I have been exposed, I didn't want to live, I just wanted to die quickly!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Mr. Shen's face became even fiercer. He stepped forward and slapped her in the face, and cursed angrily: "I used to treat you like a sister, why do you want to harm me and my unborn child like this?"
?”
Xiao Zhen bit her lip to prevent tears from falling. She looked at Concubine Qin and said, "Concubine Qin, please take good care of my master."
Concubine Qin's face was startled, and she nodded gloomily, "You should think about yourself!" She seemed to despise Xiao Zhen very much, and was unwilling to even look at her. She turned her head, snorted, and thought for a while before saying:
"You just committed a heinous crime yourself. Have you ever thought that your family will be implicated? A narrow-minded and selfish person like you will not regret death!"
Xiao Zhen's body suddenly trembled, and he said sadly: "I know that I am guilty of death, but I hope my family can be safe!"
Long Chuxia said calmly: "I saw your little trick that day. Do you know why I didn't expose you until today?"
Xiaozhen was startled again, his hands kept twisting the skirt of his clothes, and his face was filled with a pale look.
The emperor suppressed his anger and asked Long Chuxia, "Mother, what is going on? Why did she target the queen? And since you knew it earlier, why didn't you tell her earlier?"
Long Chuxia smiled meaningfully, "Before I speak out, I naturally need to know what I want to know."
The emperor was puzzled and looked at Long Chuxia with doubtful eyes.
Long Chuxia smiled faintly, "Okay, let me handle this matter. There will always be some disputes about the emperor and the women in the harem. This is normal. Since no one was hurt this time, and even the children were safe, then, don't
I will follow the clues to investigate, so as not to damage the harmony of the harem."
The emperor knew what Long Chuxia meant. The person behind Xiaozhen must be one of the concubines present, and he could not touch this concubine for the time being, because the power of her mother's family must be at its peak, and the third concubine and the noble concubine would
The most suspicious thing is that Xiao Zhen is not the mastermind, at most he is just a scapegoat. Since Long Chuxia let him go first, there are naturally ways to deal with it. It is not convenient for him to be here.
Understanding the difficulty, he stood up and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to my mother to deal with these matters. If you still have something to do, please leave first!" Long Chuxia nodded slightly: "Go!"
The concubine stood up and said: "Congratulations to your Majesty!"
When the emperor left the house, Long Chuxia didn't speak. Xiaoxun brought another cup of hot tea over. She drank it slowly, her expression gradually becoming cold.
The concubines remained silent, especially Concubine Ling. It wasn't that she felt guilty, but that she kept pushing the suspicion on the queen in this matter, which could easily create the illusion that she was arranging all this behind the scenes.
The purpose is to frame the Queen because everyone in the harem knows that she hates the Queen extremely and wishes her to die. So at this moment, she dare not say anything to avoid being accused, and she doesn’t know whether Long Chuxia has investigated clearly. If she can’t.
The people behind the scenes casually put the blame on her, and then she will be able to bear the blame.
Everyone waited with bated breath for Long Chuxia to reveal the person who instigated Xiao Zhen, but after Long Chuxia finished drinking the tea, he said: "Here, please put Xiao Zhen into the prison first!"
Two guards came in at the door, saluted, raised up Xiao Zhen and walked out. Xiao Zhen's body collapsed, her face was pale, and her body was shaking constantly. Although she said she was not afraid before, when everything really came, she still couldn't hold back the fear in her heart.
The Queen asked: "Queen Mother, who is behind this?"
Long Chuxia's eyes glanced at the Queen lightly and said: "I will handle this matter privately. You don't need to ask any more questions. Please step aside!" She looked at Concubine De and Concubine Qin again and said: "
I have a headache, Concubine De, Concubine Qin, you two will stay here to serve me!"
Concubine De and Concubine Qin stood up and said respectfully: "Yes!"
The concubines were confused. If Concubine Li and Concubine Ling were allowed to stay, they would probably be suspected. But now Concubine De and Concubine Qin are not causing trouble, which is a bit strange. Concubine De's reaction today is very strange.
It's strange that she has never spoken for the queen like this before. Today, is she deliberately creating a friendly situation between her and the queen or does she really sympathize with the queen? As for Concubine Qin, because she had a miscarriage and has a withdrawn personality, she rarely interacts with people in the palace.
, and it is said that she does not hate the queen. She had a miscarriage in the past, and the queen took good care of her. She should only be grateful to the queen, and have no hatred.
But no one dared to ask. Even Concubine Ling, who had always been arrogant, was silent at this moment.
